B B Accommodation for Threshermen's Reunion

Brandon is a little further away and has a good selection of hotels to fit all budgets. As I live in the area I have no reason to search for Portage or Brandon hotels on the net but a google search should bring them up. Brandon is about 60 miles west of Austin and the highway is 4 lane as well.

Rural western Manitoba is not heavily populated and hotels in the small towns have a difficult time keeping the doors open. Particularly since drinking and driving laws got tougher. So there is no hotel in Austin and a small motel (motor hotel) in McGregor (about 15 miles east of Austin). I have never been in the McGregor motel so I can not give you any advise on it. Usually these small town motels are not that great. The McGregor motel is also fairly close to Number 1 Highway which has a fair volume of heavy truck traffic day and night which may bother you.

Portage and Brandon offer a better selection of restaurants and other services than do the small towns around the Manitoba Agricultural Museum.

I usually am in the grain elevator during the reunion so if you get a chance drop by and say hello.
